waste and recycling management; and
Whereas, the City contributes $1 per ton of tipping fees to the South Dakota
Department of Agriculture & Natural Resources Solid Waste Management Program.

projects at landfills throughout the state. In an effort to maximize available resources,
the City of Brookings has identified potential Solid Waste Management Program grant
funding to conduct master planning; and
